Every year hundreds of undergraduate students at UC Davis share their original work with their professors, peers, community, and families at the Undergraduate Research, Scholarship & Creative Activities Conference. For 29 years, our students have compiled the new knowledge they have acquired—with faculty mentorship—into short presentations, dynamic posters, and rich objects that they then share with others.
